n theory, yes, but one has to question whether that's advisable.? There's a few factors to consider:

1.? Are you close enough to the repeater for it to work?
1630 ft, inside a room that has stucco on the outside of the building. I could put an antenna right in from of the window, or possibly outside.

Have to test, the SHARI isn't the most sensitive radio.

2.? Is the repeater properly configured so it won't cause disruption to the network? (i.e. CTCSS only when there's a signal on the repeater input).
-- At the moment-- there are no tones on the repeater. We can ask to make sure the repeater conforms to that when/if the tones go on.


The tone setup is mandatory to avoid disrupting other AllStar users.? On my busier conferences, I will boot poorly configured repeaters if I can and if not, suggest that the stations using them try another means of access if possible, because hang time, courtesy tones and CWIDs on the network are _very_ disruptive.

Last thing I want to see is AllStar become another Echolink, full of poorly engineered repeater links.?

3.? Are you really sure you can't site an AllStar node at the repeater?? Doing so would maximise audio quality and allow for AllStar to run in full duplex.? AllStar can also be your repeater controller if you want (or you can use a link port on the existing controller).
There is no Internet at the repeater and there has been no interest shown by any club member to provide such a link. Plus, putting another antenna on the tower is problematic.
And for clarity, we would be connecting an analog computer to our club DMR rebeater with the only talk group being the DMR repeater.


OK, looks like you're stuck with that, but I don't know what you're saying about the DMR repeater, that doesn't make sense to me at all.
